Introduction

5.

Transferring: Another thin wire electrode, the transfer corona, puts a

high electrostatic charge on the paper. This charge attracts the toner,

transferring the toner from the OPC drum to the paper.

6.

Fusing: Heat and pressure rollers fuse the transferred image to the

paper.

7.

Cleaning: As the OPC drum continues to turn, erase lamps remove all

residual electrostatic charge from the OPC. The cleaning unit then

removes unused toner from the OPC.
